What was the best part about using Merlin?

Merlin is really promising and actually delivers what it offers. Easy to use interface for planning your events and great implementation in their IOS apps, I find it very convenient when checking my events on-the-go. It has a web based version for PC users. Really helpful project templates and reports for the events. 24-hour support is also a plus.

What would you change about your experience with Merlin?

Some issues like management of budget seem a bit chunky still as far as multidirectional projects are concerned. I could put all my expenses into the budget but I could actually calculate the profit according to the hours spent on it. Everything else I find very well-adjusted in this program.

Overall Feedback

Merlin is one of the programs for event management that can cover events of various sizes. Overall, it is a program that may be mainly built around the IOS environment but can easily be used on the web for people who don’t work on Macs. Pleasant interface and very rich in features.

Used FOR:   Project Management Software in 2016

What was the best part about using Merlin?

I started using Merlin 3 some months ago and was eagerly waiting for the sync between projects on Mac and iPhone. Since two weeks the beta of Merlin Project 4 is available and they really nailed it. Now you have the power of one of the best PM apps on Mac (if not _the_ best) and a nice little iPhone app. I completely switched to that solution. I'll checked as well the support and they replied super fast and very helpful.

What would you change about your experience with Merlin?

The iOS app is optimized for iPhone but not that perfect on iPad. But if you use the side-multitasking-mode (whatever this called) you emulate an iPhone on the iPad and then it works fine.

Overall Feedback

I dropped all other pm solutions and exclusively go with Merlin Project. With the Merlin Server I have my coworkers on Windows using the ready and read-only plan in a browser.

Used FOR:   Event Management Software in 2016

What was the best part about using Merlin?

Merlin comes with a lot of features that surely astonishes anyone in managing their projects. It got a tracker which smoothly counts each and every minute spent on the project. Updating or adding new events are so easy which can also be done through an IOS device other than a PC. They do offer 24x7 support.

What would you change about your experience with Merlin?

Merlin may not be a great fit for the big businesses. However, it isn't compatible with windows operating system and mobiles so it won't be possible to be used by everyone. It doesn't show the profit or loss for the hours when preparing the budgets through the application.

Overall Feedback

For a better management of events through IOS devices then try Merlin but as a user of windows, it would be a terrible choice. With further training, the application can be utilized in a much bigger way since its budget management got some inner corrections for estimating the profits per hour. Through their support, it would be easier to solve any bugs.

What was the best part about using Merlin?

Merlin makes project management combined with reporting a total breeze. It has superior project management features that combine with reporting to provide a 360 degree view of any given project. The interface is visually appealing and easy to use which is helpful for training and ease of use across users with varied skill levels.

What would you change about your experience with Merlin?

Merlin is not compatible with Windows which is inconvenient since most offices use Windows Operating Systems. However, you can pay extra for the Merlin server extension which exports the data to an HTML format which allows you to use across operating system platforms, but that requires an extra step that shouldn't be necessary.

Overall Feedback

This software is best suited to smaller or maximum, medium sized organizations. The price point is very reasonable, especially compared to other similar products. It is limiting to only have it compatible with Mac, but the HTML export certainly helps. The customer service team is supportive and helpful which also helps.

Used FOR:   Event Management Software in 2015

What was the best part about using Merlin?

Merlin was designed for project managers, media and design as well as music and events management. The tool has a free trial version while it is deployed as an installed solution platform for the MAC OS and offers a 24 hours online customer support service to respond to issues on usability.

What would you change about your experience with Merlin?

The Merlin tool is not such a robust software and may be inadequate for organizations that undertake large project or organizers of heavy events needing registrations and ticket sales on a big scale. I do not see the Merlin as a budget friendly platform especially for a one off fee. It is sad that it does not support integration with other operating systems except the MAC, and that’s a major setback.

Overall Feedback

If you need a mind mapping application, the Merlin is such a good fit. It is quite a decent project management application but really not my forte, although I like its effective reporting app feature. I found out it also comes with amazing varieties of pm functions as well as an efficient and responsive customer support service. If you also need some powerful and accurate tracking capabilities especially for high level task, the Merlin comes in handy. I recommend it for construction industry and project managers.

What was the best part about using Merlin?

Merlin is all about simplicity and making the project management an ease with their spreadsheet. It can be said Merlin has rather wide range of pm functions and very powerful tracking abilities which give this program a great edge when compared to its’ competitors. Also, the customer service is a delight at Merlin!

What would you change about your experience with Merlin?

The biggest issue – and it really is a serious issue for me – is that the software doesn’t run on Windows nor mobile. I mean, the limitations it puts you in are too much and as much as it can help you out, if they don’t widen the usability for the software, I am afraid there’s not much use for it for my office.

Overall Feedback

If you don’t depend on Windows-based devices and running things from mobile, you can give Merlin a try. If all your devices are Windows-based, then I suggest to go to the next similar system as Merlin has no use for you. Overall, its’ features are actually rather marvellous and budget planning is tailored to extreme accuracy. If you have the tools to use it, then definitely give it a try!

Used FOR:   Budgeting Software in 2016

What was the best part about using Merlin?

Merlin can help you track the workflow in your company thus making it easier for you to finish various tasks. It is customizable and can help you identify issues. It also has a reporting feature and also provides notifications. It is also a good thing that the software can help you forecast the budget you need for a particular project.

What would you change about your experience with Merlin?

Though Merlin can be used for budgeting, it still not capable of handling expenses. It cannot also track the hours for you to finish the projects. It doesn’t have a product backlog which is an important thing when designing a product that will help you identify if there is any development with your projects.

Overall Feedback

Overall, Merlin is a useful software for all sizes of businesses. You can create templates and you can also customize the reports with its dashboard. It can also help you in budgeting which is an essential thing if you want to manage the cash flow of your company and allot the exact budget for your projects.

What was the best part about using Merlin?

Merlin is yet another robust and fully featured event management software. Merlin has a nice and simple graphical user interface which makes the process of navigating through features so good. Merlin helps a lot to organize events through different media. Merlin event management software is helpful to share events with your team or customers.

What would you change about your experience with Merlin?

Merlin is easy to use and new users do not need special training but once you want to extract the best of it then you may recur to the associated help and guides. Customer service from Merlin team has met our expectation since the guys over there are so responsive and so willing to help. Merlin provides a lot of ways to view resources and I find it very handy.

Overall Feedback

Merlin is capable of utilizing map of resources and some details on their statuses. Merlin is one of the best project and event management tool that comes with very handy tools and features. I would recommend Merlin over many other events and project management tools available for its capabilities and flexibility and it's pricing plans.

Used FOR:   Event Management Software in 2016

What was the best part about using Merlin?

Merlin is a great solution to the venture administration projects. They offer good services. It is easy to use and simple to implement. It is suitable for IOS devices also. With the help of Merlin, we can plan our events so easily and in less time. We can even check the events detail on the daily basis. It is available for the PC users as a web based version. Reporting feature of the product is so useful for my work. The support team is 24X7 available for us. They are a really high professional team who solve our issues on time.

What would you change about your experience with Merlin?

After using this software I can say it has some drawbacks even. Firstly I faced the issue in budget management. Because after putting all my expenses in the budget for profit calculation, I didn't find any profit as per hours consumed. There should be some key budget feature in the software. I think they should provide us more training so that every individual can understand the working in better form. If they improve some of their features it will definitely suitable for the large type of organization. Except these issues, the product is really good to use.

Overall Feedback

Merlin is web version software for the desktop user. It can even seemly with the IOs phones. It is best for the small and medium type of organization. The price is not as expensive as compare to other high-cost products in the market. It has reporting and brain mapping application. The customer care service is too good and they give us the perfect solution to our problem even in less time. It improves the performance and productivity of the business. The free trial version is also provided by Merlin. I would recommend this software to those people who are searching the best event planning product.

What was the best part about using Merlin?

I think that the best part about using merlin is that when it comes to its agile project management, collaboration of tools, customization of the features that it has specifically on the project management, the notifications that it has, and how it is integrates with the traditional project management which are really nice.

What would you change about your experience with Merlin?

I think that there is nothing much to say about what part of the software is worst. That is because you can easily learn how the software works. From the platform, to the options, to the features, and comes to how the project management progress, all are better. If they could just have more trainings then that will be better.

Overall Feedback

This software is that this can be used for large, medium, and small enterprises. But firstly, if you think that you are already satisfied with the software then it might be better if you could at least try and test first the software so that users can be able to check what more of the features it can offer.
